Ingredients:
- 250g Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 70g unsalted butter, melted
- 450g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 60g powdered sugar
- 5ml vanilla extract
- 240ml heavy whipping cream, cold
- 120g Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
- 60g Oreo cookies, crushed for topping
Instructions:
- Pulse the 250g of Oreo cookies in a food processor until they reach a fine, sand-like consistency.
- Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until completely smooth, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, taking care not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the 120g of coarsely chopped Oreo chunks until evenly distributed.
- Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the 60g of crushed Oreos over the top for a finished look.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Use the parchment sling to lift the bars out of the pan and slice into 16 equal squares using a hot knife.
